Lemon Sorbet
My dear friends David and Ellen from Deep End Ranch sent this picture yesterday. Remember how lovely it was there over Thanksgiving? What a difference the worst freeze in a century makes. Even though The Deep End is an Artist in Residence program, it is also a working citrus farm, with acres and acres of Eureka lemons, tangerines, limes, and some avocados thrown in for good measure. The crops are gone, but the trees themselves may be okay ... only time will tell. Let's all think good thoughts for David and Ellen, okay?
The image of the frozen tree is so beautiful, isn't it? (you can click on it to see a bigger version) That's Ellen. Making art through the tears!

I enjoyed reading about the plants and such on your blog. My question is --How does one get started landscaping--or gardening--or making one's yard look more iniviting that its current sorry state?--We recently renovated our early 1900's row house and our attentions have now turned to the outside--and I am overwhelmed--I want something simple, tasteful, not too much work--thanks for any advice you might have
Catherine, your great question will be the subject of my next post! Thanks!
Germi, I'm so sorry about your freeze in California. It sounds really devastating.
The main reason I wanted to comment was to compliment you on your titles. You are so clever! I wish I had half as much imagination.
Gringa! My favorite blogger!
That's a big compliment from the woman who manages to squeeze comedy, insightful social commentary, garden advice, and video art into almost every post she does. You rock!
